Great job wojtek! You spend a lot of time for this old kit. And your result is MUCH better than mine. http://www.ww2aircraft.net/forum/start-finish-builds/me-109-airfix-1-24-just-fun-17774.html :D

The backside writing of my picture proof that the tailnumbers are not used only by schools. Writing on the picture: Nach unserem ersten Einsatz Castel Bonito (Tripolis) 15.10.1942 (After our first sortie Castel Bonito (Tripolis) Oct. 15th 1942

He made it through the war.. otherwise he couldn´t told me is stories :D He ha a lot of stuff, but after he died my aunt put all of this in the trash. I couldn´t believe that.. but it´s a horrible fact. I know he had a lot of documents, including his flight books.. All gone... His decorations...

Thanks Erich. These few pictures and the decorations are all that i have from my uncle. And his tales... So i can explain the numbers on the tail :D My uncle told the tailnumbers was painted on to easy identify every single plane in the attacks and for the pilots it was easier to join their...

Yes.. Some more :D First: Catch22... Please excuse me that this planes arenot A1.. But all in the med 42/43 (KG54)

There were A5´s also.... This is the Plane of my Uncle "B3+EX" of IV./KG54. The picture is from late 1942/early 1943 taken at "El Quasabar"

Nice to see that someone is learning german :) It isn´t so hard.. Just like the same if a German is learning english.. So carry on.. I have learned my english many years ago and still making my mistakes ... *g* Also.. Immer schön weiter üben, dann klappt das auch. Und den Hund nicht zu heiß...

Maybe Guttorm can bring in his experience in salvage planes from lakes :) Carry on Mr. G.!!!!

Again thanks for your words! The Soldbuch i received was the wrong one. So the research will take longer. I will post asap if i have some news...

Thanks again to you, Paul! If i will receive the other documents ( I hope really they are from Hans Sch.) i can continue this research and maybe will find the answers.. After that i will study the fieldpost letters of the other brothers much closer. And maybe...maybe i will open a new thread...

I thank you VERY MUCH for your kind words! I have started this research only of interrest. As i received the documents and realized what happened there i was shocked. The reading of the letters really bothers me... So i think it is simply my explicit duty to find those things together and tell...

I think it is a good idea to give the names a face......

Yes. You are right Paul! I will tell the community here a real tragedy... By researching the estate i was really shocked... This belongs not really to the thread, but i think it is worth to post it... Family Schneidewind: There were 4 brothers who served.... 1. Feldwebel...
